Recommended scripting languages/environments

AutoIt v3: Eric F. uses AutoIt, freeware designed for general scripting and for automating the Windows GUI. Eric likes the utility because "It's the middle ground between batch and VBS/WSH/ADSI/MSH." The latest version includes the new AutoIt v3 language. According to the Web site, "Unlike AutoIt2, the new AutoIt v3 language has a much more standard syntax--similar to VBScript and BASIC--and now supports complex expressions, user functions, looping and everything else that veteran scripters would expect." So, if you tried but didn't like this utility in the past, you might want to give it another try.
Python: Although not a utility per se, Matt has found the Python language to be a valuable tool. "As a database admin, a language to easily automate tasks has been my most important tool," notes Matt. "I can develop scripts quickly and easily, and given the nature of Python code to be easily readable, I can understand my own code months after it was written. (This is not always a given!)"
